This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I had never seen one of these before today. They're great. Way better than reaching for a single pole in a crowded car and wrapping your hand around some stranger's fingers. And If you have the whole thing to yourself you can hook your arm through it.

mildly drunken / jet lagged / other traveler slips hand into pole, somehow grabs the far one and positions their wrist between the other two. train stops, traveler is unfamiliar with riding trains, is thrown off by weight of bags, etc, arm snaps. what a great design.

Call me crazy but I’m gonna say if you can’t hold a goddamn pole that’s on you.
